Determine cluster mode Active/Active or Active/Passive??

This is a simple question but I'm new to Exchange 2003 clustering. We
have 2-node Exc 2003 Ent cluster here at my new job. I need to apply
the Daylight Savings patches this weekend and making sure I've got the
process down. What I noticed in Cluster Admin is that I have online
groups/resources in each cluster. So I have excluster1 and
excluster2. If I check Active Groups for each one, they both have
both and both are online. Same deal with Active Resources.
So does this mean I have an Active/Active setup?
Thanks for any info

Active/Active = 2 cluster nodes, both hosting 1 Exchange Virtual Server. (At
some point when one node fails over, the other one could then host 2 EVSes).

How to identify an EVS:
- The EVS cluster group should have at least the following resources: 1) IP
Address 2) Network Name 3) Physicial Disk 4) System Attendant 5) Information
Store
- The value shown in the parameters of Network Name resource is the name of
your Exchange server as it shows up in Exchange System Manager console
Determine how many nodes you have, and how many EVS cluster groups you have
with those above resources.
Active/Passive is where number of EVSes = Number of Nodes - 1 (or less)
Active/Active = max of 2 nodes & 2 EVSes

determine mail flow problem!!!!!!!!Help! :-(
Our mailflow from 2 backend 2003 exchange servers keeps queuing up in the
outbound queue (which is set to always run delivery). Messages stay in there
from 10 to 120 minutes before being sent to our gateway MTA and then sent
off site (to hotmail.com for example). However when I telnet from a backend
server to the gateway over port 25 and send a test message it goes right
away.
I can't for the life of me figure out why.
One example when viewed in message tracking history says:
10:16am - smtp: store driver, message submitted from store

Determine columns usedI have 100+ spreadsheets which i have to edit into a certain format. The
spreadsheets currently have 100 columns (from 1-100). From there i have to
reduce the number of columns set to 8 columns.
E.g:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 (from column 9 onwards, it
goes to the
0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 next rows' column 1)
0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0
How do i do that without altering the order of the value of the cell?
Let me make sure we understand the question.

Dynamically determining when a month ends
Hello all,
Ok, I have a simple excel spreadsheet, where I keep track of my
spending on one tab, my income in another and my summary in a thrid.
My problem happens when I try to dynamically calc. avg's for months in
the summary page. For instance, if I want to see how much money I
spent on average per month, or even per day, I draw from the data
entered into the spending page.
Now, the spending page is set up with the following columns:
Date:: Description:: Amount
The problem with this is that I can't predefine a max row # for each
month, since I might have 80 entries in spending...

Buttons in Activity FormHi there!
I have seen several posts here about activities customization. My client
wants to add buttons to the activity form and the activity view, in order to
mark as complete activities without going through the Actions Menu (in the
1st case) or opening them (in the 2nd case). Are these enhancements possible
in some way?
Similarly to the above (perhaps more easy) can we place a button "Resolve
Case" directly on the Case Form?
Thanks for any help,
Elena
You cannot add buttons to any of the forms directly as this would involve editing the .aspx pages and this is not supported. ...

how to determine the size of the sheetHi
I had a collegue who told me once a way to dtermine the number of the rows
in a sheet of the workbook I am working at.
It is known that when you open a new workbook each sheet has maybe 65365 or
something like that rows.
MY QUESTION IS: HOW TO MAKE THE SHEET 1000 ROWS OR WHATEVER NUMBERS OF
ROWS I ONLY NEED?
Thanks in Advance,
Ahmed
Hi Ahmed
The number of rows and columns are fixed. Your workaround would be to hide
the ones you consider unneeded.

How do I determineI have X number of rows that show employee names and a column (A2)
that lists the value of products sold by each employee and I want to
pay them a percentage based upon value of sales. For example:
If they sell up to =A31,000 worth of products, I will pay them 3% of the
value.
Between =A31,000 & =A32,000, I will pay them 5% of the value
Over =A32,000, I will pay them 10% of the value
The amount paid to them in commission will be show in column (A3).

Automatic patches on clusterWe've got a 5-node E2k3 SP2 cluster running on Win2k3 SP1. I'm trying to
configure automatic updates (staggered install times so that there is always
a spare node that is up and available). It's working, but it doesn't appear
to be shutting down Exchange properly during the restart - checking the logs
I see that it had to go into recovery mode and replay the transaction logs
on the node that accepted the failover. Is there something I can configure
to make this work properly?
Thanks.

Outlook 2003 with Exchange 5.5 ClusterI am running an exchange 5.5 cluster using veritas clustering,
while testing MS Outlook 2003 I've noticed that when configuring
the exchange connector it now does a reverse lookup on the server name
not just looking up the user account. this feature locks on to real name of
my
server rather than the cluster name so upon failover outlook remains bound
to the downed server.
does anyone know of a to disable the lookup
outlook 2000 worked perfectly with the cluster... sadly 2003 does not

Activate a moacro subroutine from a userform command button[Excel 2003]

Authenticated Users and Active Directory trust relationships?We are in the process of merging with another organisation and have various distribution lists that they need
access to. Currently they are only accessible to 'authenticated users'. We are running Exchange 2003 and they
have 2007. What level of a trust relationship do we require between their AD and ours to allow them to use
these lists? Any help or pointers to articles on this would be greatly appreciated.
TIA.
I believe they must use a mailbox on your system. Or you can allow everyone
to send to them, not just authenticated users.

Provide a "high/low" chart (stock chart) in horizontal modeAn ability to provide a "high/low" chart similar to a stock chart in a

maximum mode. For example, nonlethal weapons have a minimum safe distance
and a maximum effective range. Reaction times have a minimum cognition time
and a maximum response time.
